Boards allows dragging tasks between columns, and I find that this small difference is more satisfying than clicking the checkbox. This status simplicity really helps to motivate me. They are also the ones that have to do with some kind of work or degree of completion.Īll Projects that use Boards have 3 Sections to denote task status: Not Started, In Progress, and Completed. And because Boards require the use of Sections, I reorganized some of my existing Projects that have actionable tasks to be the ones that took advantage of this relatively new feature. I concluded my brain HATED the unnecessary amount of sections but liked seeing more Projects. The solution was obviously to take the middle road, right? That’s what I decided. I asked myself, “Are you really going to keep it up if you do it this way?” In the past I tried forcing myself to organize in ways I knew wouldn’t work for me and in ways I wouldn’t take advantage of, but this time I was honest with myself. I started rethinking how I wanted to handle tasks and how my brain likes to organize. I’ve tried several task management solutions, and I’ve always come back here I just let my setup get out of hand. I was too lazy to fix it, but it was too much for me to want to.ĭon’t get me wrong. This restructuring was where I began to lose interest in Todoist. The sections were okay, but I think I really just used them because they were there. I consolidated projects into sections using Headers and had a handful of projects. Everything worked for a while, but then I started hating it, so I went the opposite route.
I also had labels that I put on every task that just ended up cluttering up the screen and filters that I never used. In my first Todoist post, I had sooo many projects. At work we started using boards in Asana more and more and I liked that, so I decided my they should play a big part in my personal setup too. Although Boards were introduced in September, I hadn’t updated any of my projects to use them. I basically wasn’t even completing tasks unless they were ones that notified me. During this process I was still using Todoist, I just wasn’t enjoying it. So I stopped trying that and decided I would just double down on Todoist, but first–my setup needed a serious revamp. I wasn’t organized, and it stressed me out because I felt like I wasn’t productive.
As I kept trying to work through this, I realized that it was too much for me to keep track of. I would also put more insignificant tasks and grocery lists in Drafts. Like everyone else it seems, I was migrating everything to Notion, including my tasks. My productivity system was out of whack for a while.
